Sometimes when we experience life what we’re really experiencing is our interpretation of the experience. As humans we have a tendency to jump into instant reactivity.
But hold back.
Is this the truth of things ?
Extend to yourself, the willingness to see under all veils of illusion. Under all fantasy, confusion, hurt, anger, frustration, questioning, searching.
Under all that is still peace.
Still attentiveness.
Still clarity.
I took so many photos of our room at the @urbancowboybnb in Nashville, it’s so hard to choose a favourite part!! This feature wall was UNREAL! So detailed and beautiful. I suppose my sis in the bath is pretty cute to 😂😘

Under all that is still peace. Still attentiveness. Still clarity.
There needs to be a maturing from the stage of black and white emotions. We’re not so enamoured by high emotions and not so disturbed by low emotions. There’s a stability, a tranquility, a settling. No longer playing cat and mouse with emotions. No longer holding onto ‘good’ and pushing away ‘bad’. Our awareness expands. We start to realise how deeply we can rest. Regardless of what life throws. And even if we momentarily drop back into old ways of moving, we can simply go through that process again, then realise it doesn’t work. It’s become stagnant and worn. We’ve refined. It’s all about how we choose to interpret life. If we feel bound by certain emotions, we will be. If we feel liberated, we will be.
The mind says: “If I could just get... It’ll make me... I’ll be so much more...” But when we realise that all we once searched for already lies within, we rest. We find beauty in just being. Something in our movement refines and we wonder what drew us towards those things in the first place. Life itself becomes enough.
Wedding's are ALWAYS special but sometimes, they are a little bit more meaningful when the couple has fought hard to get to the altar. A celebration of a couple's strength and ability to support each other through some of life's most horrific situations... Elissa & Jordan are pillars of strength <3 "We decided to elope after we Found that Jordan had a brain tumor back in September 2017 that became known after he began having seizures etc. I (Elissa) was listening to the radio one day when 97.3 had an elopement promotion going with Santai (only 2 months after Jordan had brain surgery) and decided i had nothing to loose and put my our names down. We ended up winning the elopement promo with Santai through 97.3 and now getting married in April. Seizures, a brain tumor and brain surgery all so horrible and terrifying at the time now seem so invalid as it has let us to such an amazing point in our lives and stronger as a couple and individuals. As much as we would like never having to go through it again - something so bad has led to something so fantastic and exciting." Congratulations once again and Thank you for trusting Lady Bella to capture your beautiful elopement! xxx SJ

Happy Sunday folks! I’m currently sitting on the couch relishing in my new RM Williams boots in the hopes that it makes shooting weddings bearable when I spend 90% of my time barefoot. Anyone else struggle with going from bogan to polished? Image from a recent family shoot down in blissful Yamba💫 (yes... I DO travel for family shoots, hint hint)

Happy 1st wedding anniversary to these two legends! Reminiscing about Jen & Carl’s stunning Tenterfield Station wedding last year, especially since (as chance would have it) we are driving through Tenterfield again today!! Such a soft spot for this beautiful region 🍁🌾🍃

What a day!! Still buzzing after spending the day capturing these lovers 😍 From the cutest little church in Portsea, to the road trip in our little car (fondly named "Orange Fury), to chasing the last light on the cliffs... we ended the night with our hearts full for these two - It's not an easy feat setting up an epically beautiful wedding in the backyard, but with the help of friends and family they pulled off one hell of a party.. 🤘🏼We cannot WAIT to share this one! For a sneak peek, check out our insta story ❤️

Love this capture from an intimate and small Brunswick Heads wedding recently 🥂🌴
I love it when people come to me with absolutely no modelling experience! ✨ Starting a shoot with a fresh little Bambi-eyed camera shy stranger and ending with a comfortable and confident badass new friend (who’s now got some hella fabulous pictures) is just so super satisfying! ✨ Beautiful Jacey was the most perfect example of this; can you believe this scrumptiously smiley, chill af Lifestyle Lady of mine had never stepped in front of a camera before she met me? ✨ Thanks for joining the HI Tribe 🌼 and being an absolute pleasure to shoot with honey! ✨ #goldcoastbusiness #goldcoastgirlsinbusiness #goldcoastphotographer #goldcoastphotography #brisbanephotographer #brisbanephotography #byronbayphotographer #personalbranding #brandingcoach #entrepreneurwomen #bodyconfidence #selfconfidence #lifestyleportraits #destinationphotographer

So much love coming in this week.. Kind words from Renee and Ben who married at @figtreerestaurant . We are so so glad we locked in Michelle to be our celebrant for our Wedding in March. She was so easy to communicate with from the get go which was important as we are from Sydney and it can be difficult planning a wedding 8 hours away in Byron Bay. When we met Michelle at our rehearsal she was so professional yet down to Earth and easy to talk to, we immediately knew we were in good hands and felt so relaxed about the Ceremony which then shined through in our photos. We had many compliments from our guests saying Michelle was the best Celebrant they've ever seen and thought our ceremony was beautiful. I couldn't recommend Michelle enough to anyone getting married in the Byron area. Thanks again Michelle! Renee and Ben xx .

💚🌿KILLEN FALLS was a beautiful place to go for a bit of an adventure before we went to our second day of Byron Bay Blues Festival... not too far away from Byron town in Ballina... it was a slippery walk down to get to the falls- probably best in bare feet! It was quite rocky as well... this pic was taken from a lookout point up the top... there were lots of people there enjoying the waterfalls and the rapids provided massage where you could just sit in the river at certain spots and feel the water run over your back 😀👌💚 #killenfalls #byronbayshire #byronbayphotographer #byronshire #waterfalling #waterfalllovers #waterlover #rapids #byronbaybluesfest2018 #byronbaybluesfest #bluesfestival #hiked #naturewalking

Fuck yeah, Friday!

Tell me what y’all are getting up to this weekend! 🌳 PS. I’m trying to remember if Rachel is laughing in this shot because I’m marvellously hilarious or because I’ve positioned her in the bushes and she’s being violated by the plants 😂 sorry babe! 🌻 #goldcoastbusiness #goldcoastgirlsinbusiness #goldcoastphotographer #goldcoastphotography #brisbanephotographer #brisbanephotography #byronbayphotographer #personalbranding #brandingcoach #entrepreneurwomen #bodyconfidence #selfconfidence #lifestyleportraits #destinationphotographer

Remember my spontaneous road trip to see my sister? I got to take pictures!! This is Kat, she’s my half sister and I whole love her! 💖 Fun fact: we didn’t meet each other until I was 18! Turns out we’re basically identical twins with ten years between us and when I moved down to her home town a few years back it totally tripped out all her friends that we look and laugh and walk and talk the same! 👯♀️ Can you see the resemblance? I hope so, she’s a total babe 😍 #goldcoastbusiness #goldcoastgirlsinbusiness #goldcoastphotographer #goldcoastphotography #brisbanephotographer #brisbanephotography #byronbayphotographer #personalbranding #brandingcoach #entrepreneurwomen #bodyconfidence #selfconfidence #lifestyleportraits #destinationphotographer
